“Rachel, our sitter, was absolutely perfect. Rachel was reliable, thorough, thoughtful, and generous with caring for our dog. She wrote us after each visit and sent photos which was so reassuring for us that our dog was safe and well taken care of. We will definitely book Rachel again!!”
“Kathleen was a great drop In sitter for my Roxie. She took extra care and kept in contact with me. It was for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which took her away from family each day. She did stay some extra time with Roxie which I’m sure my baby really enjoyed.”
About: I feel like I've always taken care of dogs. My family had dogs growing up. I have a senior dog and a four year-old dog. I have experience taking care of both senior dogs and younger dogs. My daughter is trying to raise money for a Washington DC trip. We would love to take care of your dog. I am not available on the weekends. I am available Tuesday through Friday for dog walk's, drop in visits or boarding opportunities. We would love to take care of your baby! I have a backyard that is fenced in. We have wood floors and a doggie door. I will play with them and take them for walks.
About: Our furry kids are our family! We had 2 akitas and our boy recently crossed the bridge at the age of 11,7. As an owner of an Akita breed I understand powerful breeds, their pray drive and the structured/disciplined walks. I also remain attentive and gentle with smaller breeds and senior fur kids and I will customize every outing to your dog personality and distance they are willing to walk. Our walks will be fun, with good exercise, belly rubs if needed and great energy overall. Your fur kid's new best friend here! Compassionate, energetic, loving. If you pup likes energetic walks, dedicated playtime, and a constant stream of affection, or slow walk-sniff, I would love to meet them. I treat every animal like family and ensure they get respect and all the love and attention they crave while you're away or on a walk. My Akita boy of 11,7 years justed passed away and I would like to share my time with other fur kids. I trained him myself and have experience with dogs from puppy to senior season of life. I have a fenced yard and a lot of room to run if needed. I have a friendly senior akita and she wouldn't mind a company if needed. If I come to your house to check on your pup, I will follow the routine you prefer. On walks - it's all about your fur kid - pace, speed, length, quality of walk.
“Samantha and Sydney did another wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone. They go above and beyond every time. I honestly think our cats may prefer them to us! We will be using them again soon.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life from the age of 4! I was a dog mom of an Akita for 12 years and he was behavior trained and house trained by me. I am also certified in K9 CPR. I love all dogs and you can rely on me to treat your furry companion as my own. From walks to bath time I will handle all your needs. I currently work from home so I have ample time to care for your pets as it fits their schedule you have for them! I am also a mom of a 5 year old so love, care and cleaning up are my specialties. I live in an apartment but we have tons of grassy areas on the grounds, a pond with a walking path right outside my door as well as a park within a 2 min walk. I also have dog toys, CPR Kit and bathing essentials stocked for all your fur baby needs!
“First timer on the app! I found my new dog sitter! Bree kept me updated on Miles and sent many pictures, I was nervous at first because I’ve never used an app like this! I asked to meet Bree for a meet and greet. Let her know everything about miles. She took charge and took very good care of him! Will hire her again!”
“Alyssa is great with my two dogs. A life saver because i am gone long hours with my commute. The dogs have a much better attitude being able to get out during the day. And also less accidents in the apartment.”
“Stephanie took excellent car of our fur babies. She was very attentive to our house almost as much as she was with our pets. We would trust her any time to look after them.”
“Kasandra was awesome, had great communication in addition to the Rover cards. I had no qualms leaving keys to my home with her for the drop in visits to care for my adult cat and my 6 month old kitten. I’m usually leery about allowing people unsupervised access to my home, but Kasandra put me at ease right away. I was gone 16 days and our kitties were great under Kasandra’s care. I’d definitely love to hire her again in the future. Kasandra has my highest recommendation!”
“She came through in a pinch and did great with our two dogs. Ava was always on time, the pups loved her company, and is a great communicator. We will definitely look to her any time we travel or need an extra hand!”
About: I’m a pet mama to an active Border Collie, and a super chill cat, so I know exactly how to cater to different personalities. Regardless of whether your pet needs a good workout session, or quiet cuddles, I’ve got you covered! Growing up around animals naturally led to years of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I'm completely comfortable with specialized care, from strict routines to administering medications if your pet isn't feeling their best. Leaving your fur babies with someone new can be stressful, I know. It’s very important to me that they feel safe, loved, and at ease. I will be patient and compassionate to your pet as I would with mine. My schedule is flexible. I’m happy to hang out with your pet for walks, play time, drop-ins, or last minute requests. Reach out and connect with me, I’m always glad to help out. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel secure in their space. When I visit, I keep things calm and respectful, never rushing or overwhelming your pet. I follow instructions carefully, use positive reinforcement, and ensure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always treat your home and pet's routine with the same respect I’d want for my own.
“Debbie did a great job taking care of my guys! She was punctual, patient and kind. She communicated with me during each of the drop in visits and sent photos which made me comfortable while I was away. I will definitely use again!”
“Stephanie has been our dog sitter for the last several years and we always feel confident and at ease that our 3 pups will be in great hands and get the extra attention they love! This time we had a death in the family and Stephanie was able to accommodate us last minute. We and our pups love her so she comes highly recommended! Thank you Stephanie!!! ❤️”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs (and 9 other species) in my home, and I truly love all the fur babies in the whole wide world! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. I’m attentive, organized, and detail-oriented (from my teaching background). I will provide expert, dependable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving meds, and helping pets who have special needs. I’m also big on communication (and sending pictures) so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My home is fun, loving, and full of attention. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! My wife is a teacher so she is always home during the evenings and weekends. I work from home and enjoy having the extra company around the house. I have a fenced back yard and a big playful bernadoodle that loves to have friends over. (My dog can be relocated if your animals do not get along with others.) We live around a lake with plenty of great walking trails and big fenced in properties, lots of places to get good fresh air around us. Typically I take my dog somewhere to play of walk in the mornings, relax and get some work done until the afternoon, then try to get another walk in. We have lots of toys to play with and do lick mats and scent training games if weather is yucky.
“We had a wonderful experience with Daniel. He took great care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend. He provided complete visit cards with pictures for every drop in visit he made. We look forward to using him again in the future!”
“Leonard was great! Kept my 3 cats alive and well! Gave me great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for when I went back to the mainland to deal with my mom's care.”

Rachel has been a lifesaver for us. She's looked after our 18-year-old cat Gretchen many times over the past year, and Gretchen can be pretty cantankerous. Rachel handles her with so much patience and care that Gretchen is always happy and healthy when we get home. Knowing Gretchen is in such good hands takes so much stress out of traveling. We recommend Rachel to anyone, and we'll keep booking her every time we leave town.
Katherine is hands down the best! She took such amazing care of Pumpkin and kept me looped in with the cutest photo updates every day. It’s a huge relief to find someone Pumpkin is so comfortable with. Professional, sweet, and totally reliable. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch Pumpkin again!
Edie provided absolutely outstanding service. A few days before the visits began, she came our home to ensure she knew how to care for our pet. Edie not only provided the base service, but she played with our pet and sent us regular updates and photos. We would use Edie again and highly recommended her! Outstanding!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
